Aaron Rodgers appears down to only one NFL team needing him after NFL Draft

Emmanuel Acho, LeSean McCoy and James Jones discuss whether the Pittsburgh Steelers should draft a QB in the first round with Aaron Rodgers' NFL future unknown.

While the football world was wrapped up in where Shedeur Sanders was going to go on day three of the 2025 NFL Draft, ESPN’s Adam Schefter dropped some other quarterback news that is very significant for a certain MVP free agent. 

Aaron Rodgers remains without a team for the 2025 season, as he hasn’t made his decision on whom to play for. 

One of those potential teams was the Minnesota Vikings, given that J.J. McCarthy, the team’s first-round pick in 2024, didn’t touch the field last season due to a season-ending injury. However, the front office has been adamant that McCarthy is the man for the job, heading into this season, but speculation about a potential Rodgers deal remained afloat.

Perhaps that has officially come to an end after Schefter revealed during ESPN’s broadcast of the draft that the Vikings had acquired Sam Howell from the Seattle Seahawks. Howell later confirmed the trade, making a celebratory post on Instagram.

In return for Howell, Minnesota sent its 142nd pick in the fifth round, which the Seahawks used on defensive lineman Rylie Mills. Two picks later, Sanders was finally taken by the Cleveland Browns. 

So, where does that leave Rodgers for 2025? 

The Pittsburgh Steelers are still the frontrunner
